Apologies @Ian_Chimp and @WillC … lesson - always check final published on forum emoji’s! In the preview they looked perfectly correct, once published 2 emoji’s were changed! Number 4 was originally Burning Bridges but my bridge emojis turned into a skyline once actually on the forum?! I have changed it entirely now to a new one as I couldn’t find an alternative bridge. In number 4 of the bonuses, the pants were crossed out with a line through, once published they were not. I have amended this one but it remains the same phrase. Please feel free to edit your number fours if you so desire :see_no_evil_monkey:

I also don’t know why some now appear small, in the preview they are all large :woman_shrugging:t2:

I’ve had few weird emoji fails in Emoji Charades. The forum list also has extra ones in than my phone (not just the new LH custom ones).

:pinching_hand: :pinching_hand: is quite a useful one.

I also had a little go at strikethrough, and it doesn’t seem to like striking through just an emoji on its own.

Forgot to say… toast, maybe grapes and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Always worked for me as a kid! Hope you feel :running_woman::man_lifting_weights: :swimming_woman: :violin: again soon.

Basically, bar very minor semantics, 100% between you @VanillaWithSprinkles and @SexInTheCity.

So glad you both got number 3, I was starting to think I should have used a less questioning person, maybe a more sickly one :sneezing_face:

Number 3 was definitely ‘Why does it always rain on me?’. I’m going to have to mark your answers down a point.

Don’t know what to tell you Mr. Chimp… @VanillaWithSprinkles and @SexInTheCity managed to get it right :rofl:.

“Why does it always rain on me?” is a song not a figure of speech phrase :woman_shrugging:t2::see_no_evil:

I thought Bashing The Bishop was a common phrase!

I’m not even sure how to respond to that. :slightly_smiling_face:

:sun_behind_small_cloud::cloud_with_snow::cloud_with_rain::tornado:
:sneezing_face::coffin:

Or, alternatively,

:poop::wave:

Feeling Shit

:rofl:

…Okay your first is better than mine, though hopefully people feeling under the weather don’t end up dead :crossed_fingers:t2:. Are you feeling better today?

The alternative however, well I’m pretty sure you’re waving at shit there rather than feeling it?

I am feeling better, but only by about 5%. :slightly_smiling_face: I can now do chores in 15 minute bursts before thinking effit, and having to sit down. :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there much difference between waving and stroking? :slightly_smiling_face: Don’t make me circle back round to the figure of speech thing. :slightly_smiling_face:

But, seriously, thank you for the game. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:
